FOOLISH MR. ARROGANT

At the edge of the cliff she found him, almost falling into his destruction.

The look in his eyes unignorable, as he struggle so much to save himself, whilst rejecting all offers to help him up.

She had willingly offered him her hand, for him to hold on to for his sake. And he had looked at it in disgust, before he grudgingly accepted it. 

The foolish arrogant man!

It doesn't cost much to ask for help. To him, maybe it does. Because not his riches but his ego is required.

He fell in love with her. Yes, he had always loved her, that she knows. The look in his eyes when he watched her work...but that pride of his, that oversized head of his wouldn't allow him admit it.

He barks at her at every chance he gets, enjoying himself as she obediently follows his instructions and meet every of his ridiculous demands.

He keeps her every day of the week, just so she wouldn't be out of his sight.

Until one day, he got carried away and lost all sense of reasoning as he couldn't help himself but kiss her.

She had always known this would happen, but she couldn't believe it still when it did. At first she hesitated, having a rethink for her fragile heart's sake. But then to hell with all sanity, she had waited long enough.

Yes, she kissed him back, with that much love she's always had for him. One thing led to the other...he made her feel like a woman.

He tore off his hard and professional demeanour, and loved her all night.

And like a perfect and happy couple, they slept in each other's arms, their breathing in sync.

Who would have thought that the soft and loving man of the previous night would transform into a mean and heartless beast at  morn.

His barks rented the air, waking her with a start. The disgustful look he gave her, as he accused her of seducing him, before throwing her out like a piece of thrash.

Weeks passed by, months went along. 

The day he broke her heart into a thousand pieces, imprinted in her memory. He never came to apologize. 

Even when she had resigned, he spared her no words. And she had no choice but to gather her pieces and move on.

The foolish arrogant man!

All the while regretting his actions, as he had realised a little too late, that he loved her.

He misses her terribly but couldn't bring himself to go see her and set things straight. 

Instead he buries himself in his work or drowns himself in drinks.

She moved on. Oh yes, she did move on, to another who loved her like she deserves. 

And he lost his hold on her, for his pride wouldn't bow to love. Eventually, he did fall off...off that cliff she once saved him from, right into darkness and nothingness.
